Well, I guess you can’t blame him for trying? Ha. Glad to hear your dad is home from the hospital!
I don’t have much of an update these days, except that I’m kind of frustrated. Let’s see. New Year’s dude and I still text occasionally, and after suggesting we do something this week (and me replying, asking what his schedule was like to set something up) he hasn’t responded. So that’s that. I went on 2 dates this past weekend, both of which were pretty good. The first guy was nice, we had dinner, and I had a good time. The second guy I had coffee with on Sunday, and I enjoyed it much more, actually, and that felt mutual. I actually felt nervous, which is unusual for me. He suggested talking later to coordinate schedules and I agreed. Needless to say, I haven’t heard from him. (I did send a “had a nice time” message suggesting again to meet up sometime, later that night.) So I assume that’s that. I’m not sure why exactly but feel a bit disappointed. Maybe just because I actually had a legit good time and was interested in seeing him again? So, oh well. But it’s all just very frustrating.
Kare, found you- he’s very handsome! And whoops, I just now see you linked the photo above. And I love your dress!
I’m taking ballet classes- I’m getting back into it after not dancing for, oh, 10 years. haha. But it’s like riding a bike- it’s all coming back to me, although I feel pretty rusty with the more complicated stuff. Right now the classes are saturday (and sunday) morning at 9 and 10:30, so it helps if I don’t have a late night the night before. I also try to get to the gym during the week but I’ve been slacking on that as well and only making it one or two times. I hope you have a productive weekend! 😀
What’s your instagram name, Kare? I know you have mentioned it before, but I don’t remember what page it’s on… (I want to see the FWB! 🙂 )
I’m not so good at keeping things tidy when I’m in a funk either- I try to at least clean/tidy things on the weekends if I’ve left stuff out or piled up during the week. It makes things a bit more manageable!I’m sorry to hear about that dud, MissDre- that’s totally frustrating. More and more lately my outlook has been, well, if he isn’t interested/disappears, that’s his problem and his loss. It has nothing to do with me (since he barely knows me)! Plus having an open weekend means more time for dance classes! (Which I have recently started doing!) I try to keep up the positive energy, but still there’s that little bit of frustration with it all.
Ok, I’m going to change the subject a little and talk about myself. 😉
I went out with NYE dude last saturday, and it was a really fun evening. Since then, we’ve texted a little bit back and forth (like, maybe once a day at the very most.) I was definitely feeling like I was getting attached earlier this week, so not hearing from him was making me feel angsty. But since I had suggested the second date, I decided to back off a bit and give him space to suggest a third. Needless to say, he hasn’t suggested anything, and now that a few days have gone by, I’m ok with it. I’m surprised I’m ok with it, actually. I’m happy to keep the communication lines open, and if he wants to get together, great! However there is a little part of me that is disappointed that I’m not being pursued more (or, at all. I can’t tell if I am or not!) I guess it doesn’t bode well for us.
At the same time, I’m still using Coffee Meets Bagel (and am chatting with a new guy on there), and I was pinged on eHarmony by a 40 year old doctor who lives an hour away from me, so at least I’m not putting all of my eggs in one basket. It’s just frustrating because I just want something to work out. I’m so ready to get off of this hamster wheel.
Well I have a date update. Saturday I went out with NYE dude and we had a great time. I was super tired from running around all day (plus long dance class in the morning) so I was trying to rally before I met him at 6. (plus it rained off and on the whole evening.) We went downtown to a tiki bar I like, which unfortunately was packed so the wait for a drink was long. But we had a drink, and then left to get some dinner (deep dish pizza, yum), and then rode cable cars from one end to the other with Italian tourists. And found ourselves walking around in a very foggy, deserted area that is normally packed with people, so it was very eerie! Then we had to figure out how to get back to his place, which involved 3 different modes of transit. Let’s just say we were happy to get back to his place. Oh yeah, then he gave me a neck massage and we got nekkid and it was awesome. He was surprised when I said I had to go. I definitely enjoyed the whole evening, and I’m pretty positive he did too- for just being a second date, it was a good one! I’m trying to not worry too much about the age difference, as it’s not a big deal right now, but could be if it comes to the point where we talk about the future and such. (It’s too soon to do that, I think!) No plans yet for going out again though.
Woohoo, congrats on the sex, Veritek!
I had to google a wild serval cat, and whoa, they’re interesting looking! But, uh, wow, only 4, huh? (*eyeroll*)
That is so gross MissDre! Who DOES that?! (This guy, obviously.)
Hooray for great dates, Veritek, Stone, and Cleopatra!! Sounds like lots of fun!! And, happy birthday ktfran!
I am going out with NYE Dude on saturday! We’re going to go to my fave tiki bar and then ride cable cars. He’s looking forward to seeing me again and I am too!! I’m trying to not feel too overly excited, just because it’s only the second date, but I like this guy and I hope it goes well. 🙂 I’m also going to check out some food trucks friday night with another guy I had drinks with right after Christmas (from coffee meets bagel). He’s nice, very friendly, but someone I’d see more as a friend. I figure it’s good to keep my options open and it could be a good time. I just don’t think I want to actually date him…
Thanks guys! I’ve actually never dated anyone younger than me. Usually I’m the younger one- the largest gap for me has been 9 years. I guess now the tables are reversed! At any rate… I may just throw out a couple of dates to get together again, probably next weekend since my weeknights are filling up already for next week. He can take me up on that if he wants.
Ktfran, I hear you on the difficulty of getting back into yoga on the weekends- I am determined to go to a 9am ballet class tomorrow morning. I’ve slacked off for so long because I wind up sleeping in. It’s gonna happen, I’m not allowing myself any excuses!
And yay, Stonegypsy, on your new sparkly dude!!
Hi guys,
Just a little update on my wednesday night date! It was great! So, we met at a bar for drinks, and proceeded to talk for probably 3 hours. Then we left, and went back to his place and watched Masters of None, and ended up making out. Which led to some sexy times and cuddling. And, I may have left at 3am. (Whoops.) Needless to say, it was really fun, he’s totally adorkable, very self aware, and extremely hot. And we have a lot in common, but not too much in common. The only thing is, I think he’s pretty young. Like 25 young (to my 31). Which isn’t a huge deal in itself, but yeah.
We didn’t make any plans, but I texted him last night to say thanks for a fun evening, etc and suggested exploring some themed bars sometime if he was up for it (we both talked about a couple, and he suggested we go). He did reply that he had a fun time as well, and that he was up for exploring.
All in all, a good time, I’d like to see him again, and I get the feeling he does as well.
@Lianne, he texted me the day after actually! Turns out he left his wallet at the place and they contacted him. We’ve texted a bit since, and we’re going on on Wednesday! We’re meeting at a bar. In one of his texts he said he had an amazing time and kinda wanted to pick up where we left off. Eep! I’m actually kind of nervous now!
@Ktfran, the whole photo thing is so weird. So, when I was walking out to find my friends, I ran into her, and she said she’d text me the photos, so I gave her my number. And I say photos because she took candid ones, of us making out. SO WEIRD. She said that she’s just a romantic. I say she’s more than that… Anyway, I laughed it off and I guess now I have proof that it happened!I also saw a pic of Veritek’s army dude- he’s CUTE. Get it girl!
Yay for awesome makeouts and fun parties!!
Story time: My new years was pretty fun. My 2 friends and I went to this bar/music venue that had 80’s/90’s music- a really low key crowd, people were friendly, and I got a compliment on my dress! I wound up dancing with my friends on the stage along with other people, and as midnight got closer, more people came and joined. I saw this really cute guy wearing a coat- meanwhile I was totally hot and sweaty, and my friend and I were like, what the heck, take it off! So he did, and he and I wound up kind of dancing together and talking over the music. At midnight, this random woman near us pushed us together and told us to kiss (I obliged, on the cheek), and he and I wound up dancing together and then made out like bandits right there on the stage. Under lights. My friends went to get water and when they came back they said that we were right under a light and people were dancing around us. Whoops. Around 1 my friends wanted to get going, since they were worried about getting an uber, and they were my ride (and I felt uncomfortable staying alone and finding my way back to her apt) I decided to leave with them. I felt really bad leaving so abruptly… but he did ask me for my contact info and we swapped numbers. So! It was a fabulous evening. Now? Not sure if I’ll actually hear from him… but I am considering texting him tomorrow to say that I had a nice time with him, sorry to leave so abruptly, maybe we could hang out sometime. (I dunno…?) Also? The random woman who pushed us together took our picture and texted it to me. So odd. (She said she was a romantic.)
Hope everyone had a good evening, whatever your plans!
